TEACHING A HoRsE.-Some one, very
sensihly writing Of the treatment Of
horses, says: " Never run after horse
in the pasture. IL he does not like TO
be caught, coax him with little grain,
but never deceive him with an empty
dish. You can soon teach the widest
horse TO come 20 you. When he does
come, let him eat little while before

when going 10 the pasture, whether
they wish to catch a horse or not, al.

handful Of oats, an apple or q carrot,

white birds. In fact white birds are not
a success as carriers. They seem soft and
nave not the staying powers of others
colors. L tried to breed white birds last
year, but did not succeed to any extent.
The ordinary carriers breed every month
IN the year but December, If yon let them
but we don't, generally begin breeding till
! ABOUT the 22d of February and continue
until August. This gives me nice strong
birds that can be depended upon. 1t is

isn't it? If [ send a bird away on a long

another funny point about carriers that
this puts me III mind of. [ can go into
the loft the darkest night and find any
bird I want, as they never change their

One Dies.
WINNIPEG, Man, Dec. 31.-A shocking
and fatal accident occurred on an up
freight special on the eastern division of
the Canadian Pacific railway, on Tuesday
night, two miles east of Nepegin. 4 car
penter named Gordon, from Port Arthur,
was riding on engine 269, together with
Brakeman Fredericks, Fireman Harry
Brunell and Engineer Ramsay,
when the crown sheet fell and
the boiler burst. The frightful rush
of steam blew the three first named men
out of the engine onto the track, where
they had to lie in the cold, with the tenn
perature 40 below zero. All were terribly
scalded and frozen. Gordon died two
hours after with a broken back. The
fireman had one leg broken and was ba ably
frozen on the face, hands and feet. The
brakeman was badly scalded and smashed
about the face, but was able to walk. The
engineer escaped injury.
